Most of the people that go to your average church don't seem to be on board a lot of this stuff, and so they really aren't part of the religious right from a political sense, although they are heavily Republican and don't like Clinton. What I'm finding is that most of them don't vote and they are for candidates that don't have a chance when they do. Not that I fully grasp these people in the church I go to. It is mostly of the old school thought that politics isn't the focus. I've been to other Fundamentalist churches where it is; but this particular I go to isn't. I'm probably more into politics than anyone else I talk to. I tell people I'm a Democrat and some are initially surprised and usually somebody jumps in and says, "Well, we have Christian's who are Democrats in our church", and all is ok. I get more concerned when they get in to a discussion as to who is and who isn't a Christian. Even with that type of discussion; at least I'm starting to understand their point. I would prefer they don't own the name Christian to make their point. Essentially; what they are saying is that there are people that live Christianity everyday and make a point of having a relationship with God through Christ on a daily basis as opposed to people that rely only on showing up once a week or on outer things. What they need to do is say that they are committed to living Christianity on a daily basis and see that as real whereas people that only give it lip service really aren't practicing Christianity. I don't think this makes them not Christian's; it just means that they aren't as ardent as others. If you get what you need out of what you do, it isn't going to be easy to convince people they need more. I think the people that practice it more ardently do in fact have a tougher time and need it more in their lives.
